The mansion of Hou Huanling in Yongxiu County.

A woman dressed as a maid hurriedly walked to the backyard, until she saw a girl in a moon-white miscellaneous hair dress standing in the yard, she stopped, the girl turned her back to her at this time, holding a pair of scissors is leisurely repairing the flower branches, she listened to the footsteps of the maid from far and near, to this time has stopped, it seems that the person has stood behind her, she asked softly: "Is the jade branch back?" ”

"Yes," the maid who called the jade branch agreed, and took two steps closer to her, and the girl glanced back at her, and then went on with the matter at hand, but asked lightly: "How is the matter that was ordered to you?" ”

"The slave has sent the cook out of the city, gave her a hundred taels of silver to seal, and told her that no matter what happens, she must not return to Jiankang, otherwise it will be a dead end."

"What about the princess's mansion, but everything is arranged?"

Yuzhi smiled and said quite confidently: "Don't worry, the things have been sent, at this time, Princess Yixing must have been angry." ”

When the girl heard this, she smiled instantly, and she said, "I don't know if this gift is like my cousin or not, for this gift, I have been preparing for three years, and she must not let me down this heart." ”

She knew that Princess Yixing liked to eat soup, so she specially entrusted Hou Huanling of Yongxiu County to invite a cook who was good at making soup from Yi'an County to come over and tell her to mix into the princess's mansion and cook meals for Princess Yixing.

"But lady," Yuzhi seemed worried, "the slave just returned to the city, and saw Shen Fuma leading people on the street, holding the portrait of the cook, looking for her everywhere. ”

"Oh? For what reason do they take people? ”

"It was said that the cook stole the property of the princess's mansion," Yuzhi had just finished speaking, and the girl laughed, "Forgive them for not daring to make this matter public, and now they still use such a statement to take people, what a joke!" ”

Yuzhi frowned, as if she had some concerns, "Lady, don't worry, that cook has just been out of the city, if she is caught, her mouth will not be tight, but if her mouth is not strict......"

The girl turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Do you want to kill people?" ”

Yuzhi was startled, and when she saw the girl's face, she didn't dare to look at her, and when the girl saw her eyes flickering, she saw some clues and asked, "Or... You've killed someone? ”

"Lady, now Shen Yuma is looking for her with dozens of people inside and outside the city, she will be caught sooner or later, and the slave is also afraid that she won't be able to keep her mouth, in case she confesses us, then your three-year plan will not be in vain!"

The girl sighed lightly, "Actually, you don't have to be like this, don't look at Shen Wenhe being so arrogant now, but if he dies, can he still be arrogant?" ”

Yuzhi was surprised, and subconsciously lowered her voice, "What does the lady mean......"

The girl did not reply to her, but asked, "What day is it?" ”

"Today is the fourth year of junior high school."

"The fourth ......" the girl smiled coldly, and then said, "It seems that tomorrow will be busy again." ”

There is an old man who will go to the Qingxu Temple at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain on the fifth day of the new month every month, and she will naturally not let go of this opportunity to reunite with the old man.

After she finished speaking, she instructed Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, you go to the Ren'an Hall Pharmacy and get a few things for me." ”

"Take what? The lady said. ”

"After you get there, go directly to the shopkeeper and report my Xie Zheng's name, and then he will bring you what I want, and in addition, take two more packs of five stones and scatter them back, which will be of great use," she is already an old customer of Ren'an Tang, and she explained to the shopkeeper a few days ago, asking him to prepare a pair of Chaotianzi and a pack of silver needles with nail heads for her, and she should go and pick them up today.

"Yes, slave will go."

Xie Zheng watched the jade branch walk away, and then turned around, and suddenly saw a branch in the bushes in front of her that had been gnawed black by moths, she didn't squint, but there was a chill in her eyes, and she said hatefully: "Shen Wenhe, I'm back!" ”

After she finished speaking, she went down with a pair of scissors, and cut off the whole branch without mercy.

Suddenly, there was a Lang Jun wearing a crow-blue shirt with big sleeves and walked behind her silently, this Lang Jun was not young, about the age of standing, but he was born with red lips and white teeth, his face was like a crown of jade, he looked good like a woman, and he was still a fairy, with a high crown and a broad belt, and his appearance was very, so he was like an immortal, standing there, and leaving the world independent.

"Deyin, do you know that you are teasing Princess Yixing like this, she will definitely point the finger at Concubine Xie," the man whispered.

Xie Zheng only knew that he was coming, she didn't look back at him, just smiled and said contemptuously: "Didn't the county marquis think that when I was planning this matter, I didn't think about the consequences?" ”

Huan Ling Fu smiled, and didn't say anything, Xie Zheng had already heard it, so he put down the scissors in his hand, turned back to him, and said: "There are three kinds of people in this world, one kind of people follow the rules and follow the rules; One kind of person has no desires and wants nothing, and goes with the flow; There is another kind of person, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, the county marquis's heart is as wide as the sea, is the second type of person, and I, in the past, was the first type of person, and now, I am the third type of person. ”

Huan Ling walked up to her and said, "How smart Deyin is, this matter must be in your plan, but... Concubine Xie, it's still your ...... in the end."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Zheng interrupted, as if he was extremely reluctant to listen to it anymore, "Since the county marquis has already called me Deyin, why did he put me and Concubine Xie on the door?" I am now Xie Zheng, the girl of the Xie family, and Xie Guifei was born in the Xie family of Chen County, so I have nothing to do with her. ”

When she said this, she paused again, her face darkened, and then she said: "What's more, when the Great Sima Mansion had an accident, she wiped out all the relationships with the Xie family......

Xie Yu had an accident three years ago, and none of the 100 people in the Da Sima Mansion survived, but Xie Guifei, as her aunt, was not only implicated, but also quickly promoted from a Zhaoyi to a noble concubine, in charge of the harem, clearly, saying that it was Xiao Daocheng's compensation for the destruction of her family, but in fact, I am afraid that only Xie Guifei herself knows.

"Whether it's Princess Yixing or Concubine Xie Gui, they are not good, so I'm just a little trick today, and I should just teach them a lesson," Xie Zheng raised his head slightly, quite disdainful.

Huan Ling didn't talk to her about it anymore, but just walked past her, walked to the bushes, picked up the scissors, pruned the stumps by himself, and asked inexplicably: "How did you know that I have no desires and no desires?" ”

Xie Zheng looked at him and asked with a smile, "Isn't it?" I don't know, what does the county marquis want? ”

"If you say it, you can't ask for it, it's better not to say it," Huan Ling said, suddenly stopped, frowned, sighed lightly, looked at Xie Zheng, and said very worriedly: "Deyin, what you are planning is a matter of life and death, don't be rash!" ”

"I've been planning this for three years, if I was really serious, I would have cut them with a thousand knives, why wait until now?"

Huan Ling hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In the middle of the month, the eldest princess celebrates her birthday, and I went to my uncle's mansion to eat and drink, and I heard him say that His Majesty has summoned the prince back to Beijing, and the prince... I'll be back soon. ”

When Xie Zheng heard this, he just froze at first, and then said unusually calmly: "I know, the eldest princess has a birthday, and he will naturally come back." ”

"I haven't seen him for three years, I guess you are very concerned about him......" Huan Ling mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Zheng's face immediately changed, as if it was not his own business, and said: "The past matter, the county marquis doesn't need to mention it anymore." ”

After Xie Zheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, Huan Ling looked at her and walked away, suddenly sighed softly, and said to himself: "I just don't want you to be tired of your children's affection......"
